 [Swr] Swordsman

The Midgard swordsman is a close-combat specialist. Being the steadfast 

frontline of armies and adventuring parties, only the bravest dare to enter 

their ranks. 

The Swordsman Job Class has a good choice of Attack Skills and is one of the 

Job Classes, which receives a very generous amount of HP. This means that a 

Swordsman is usually the last man standing in a head-to-head fight with 

monsters. The Swordsman Job also has the widest selection of weapons and 

armor he can choose from, although he is prohibited from using Bow and 

Wand Class weapons.

How to become a Swordsman

To become a Swordsman you must visit the Swordsman Association located in 

the Satellite City of Izlude. Once there take the Swordsman Initiation test

The Acolyte Job Class features powerful healing and helpful support Skills. 

The Acolyte also excels in fighting the undead and have several skills geared 

for these types of foes. Due to their pledge to non-violence, Acolytes are 

limited to Mace and Rod class weapons. 

A spellcaster who calls upon the powers of the divine through their piety and 

faith, Acolytes strive to aid others and attempt to foster hope among the 

people, whose faith has waned in the face of Ragnarok. 

An Acolyte’s divine magic provides healing and strong support to and

adventuring party. Among all the citizens that roam Midgard, none draws 

their ire more than the undead. 

How to become an Acolyte 

To be an Acolyte, one must go to the Sanctuary located in Prontera, the

Capital City of Rune Midgard. Talk to the Cleric in the right side of the 

Sanctuary to begin the Acolyte Quest. The goal of the quest is to talk to 

one of three Ascetics, once you talked to him return back to the Sanctuary

[Tif] Thief 

The Thief Job class emphasizes on Speed and Stealth. Many of the Skills 

featured in the Thief class involve stealth, speed and larceny. Although it 

lacks the wide selection of weapons and Armor found in the Swordsman and 

Merchant classes, the Thief can still deal a respectable amount of damage to 

an opponent. The Thief has access to Dagger-class and Bow-class weapons. 

With sleight of hand and fleet of foot, the thieves of Midgard fancy 

themselves as hopeless romantics who don’t mind if a quick zeny or two is 

made at the expense of others. 

Thieves specialize in pinpoint attacks and stealth. Their unique ability to 

steal items from unwary victims without having to fight has annoyed more than 

its share of porings in the wilderness. 

How to become a Thief 

The Thieves guild is not located inside the Pyramids northwest of the 

Desert City of Morroc. You don't have to take the Thieves test to become a 

thief and you definitely don't have to retrieve 25 points worth of orange 

mushrooms to pass the Thieves test.

Skills

Back Slide · Detoxify · Envenom · Find Stone · Hiding · Improve Dodge · Sand Attack · Steal · Stone Fling

 [Mer] Merchant

The Merchant Job Class is a rather unique class by itself. Although it lacks 

offensive skills found in other Job Classes, it makes for up with its sheer 

money making abilities. Many of the Merchant's Skills are geared for buying 

and selling. The Merchant Job class also has a respectable selection of 

Weapons and Armor to choose from, although it is prohibited from using Bow, 

Wand and Spear-Class Weapons.

Masters at the art of the deal, these independent traders and craftsmen seek 

to make a living on trade in the world of Midgard. With the roads infested 

with marauding creatures that ambush the wary traveler, the merchants 

specialize in skills that allow them to get the most out of their dangerous 

travels.

Merchants specialize in getting the best prices for adventurers. Their skills 

in haggling and identifying unknown items make them invaluable in the fight 

for Midgard’s survival.

How to become a Merchant

To become a merchant visit the Merchant Guild located in the Port City of 

Alberta. The merchant quest requires you to pay an initiation fee of 1000z 

and then deliver a package to a person located in a random city. Once you 

delivered the package, you will be given a receipt, keep it until you return 

back to the Merchant Guild. Once you show them the receipt you will be 

granted membership as a merchant.

[Arc] Archer

The Archer Job Class has the most specialized selection of Skills. However, 

what an Archer lacks in Skill selection it makes up in its ability to kill 

opponents at long distances. Most of the Skills that the Archer has are all 

designed to increase his effectiveness with his chosen weapon, the bow. Archers 

are limited to the Bow and Dagger-class weapons.

Rugged frontiersmen with a pinpoint aim, the Archers patrol the wilderness 

between the towns and cities of Midgard. Though many have a huge 

individualistic streak to them, a well placed Archer shot could spell the 

difference for an adventuring party surviving a dangerous encounter.

How to become an Archer

The path to Archer requires one to go to the Archer Guild located in the 

Oriental Town of Payon. There you will be given the task of gathering three 

different kinds of tree trunks. Once you have satisfied the quota given to you, 

the path of the Archer will be opened before you.

[Mge] Mage

An arcane magic-wielder with the ability to cast a variety of devastating 

spells on their enemies, the mages of Midgard unlock the secrets of arcane 

lore for their never-ending quest to master the arcane arts.

The Magician Job Class is one of the most popular jobs. Its primary feature 

is the ability to cast powerful elemental spells which can kill opponents at 

a distance. However the Magician is not an effective fighter in close combat 

situations, and can't take physical damage as well as other Job classes' can. 

The Mage is limited to the Dagger and Wand Class weapons.

How to become a Mage

To be a Magician, you have to take the Official Magician's Test handed out by 

the Magic Academy located in the Mysticall City of Geffen. In order to pass 

the test you must mix a magical solution based upon the instructions given by 

the instructors from the Academy. Once you succeeded in creating the solution 

return to the Academy to be inducted as a Magician.









[nin]Ninja

Ninjas are an expanded class that cannot be rebirthed or adopted. Because of this, Ninjas are granted 69 skill points to distribute. They do however have follow up jobs: The Kagerou(male) and the Oboro(female)which take their roles as ninjas much farther and make them much more powerful.

Unfortunately, the ninja class was recently victim to severe skill nerfs that left the class in a questionable state. Players looking to begin this class should be warned: Be prepared to underperform.

That said, the ninja class is still fun and offers three types of roles to play: a magic ninja, a throwing ninja (now nerfed to be the weakest of the builds), and the melee ninja. Ninjas excel in the art of evasion with skills like Cicada Skin Shed and Mirror Image which prevent almost all non-magical damage from harming them. Their magic tree offers several fun spells that are unlike that of any other class (although nowhere near as powerful as the wizard class's spells).

This class is not recommended for new players though, being as that it is very expensive to play. The magic and throwing ninjas require materials to cast all of their spells, that can be quite costly.

Taekwondo

TaeKwon Kids are practitioners of the art of TaeKwon-Do. They fore go the use of weapons and instead specialize in a variety of kicks. Their equipment is limited to equips that are usable by all jobs except novices. However, there are a few exceptions to this rule.

Gunslinger

Gunslingers are flashy and confident New Age warriors that rely on a wide array of guns and powerful skills to deal as much damage as possible in a short amount of time to their enemies. Gunslingers are always looking for a chance to show off their talent.

Bored with only target practice in smoggy Einbroch, gunslingers have decided to take up adventuring, like so many from the Rune-Midgarts Kingdom, in order to live a life of excitement and fame.

Unlike traditional classes, Gunslingers do not have a second class to change to (As of yet), but instead are allowed 70 job levels. This can allow for a range of very unique (hybrid and specialized) skill sets in the Gunslinger tree.

Second Job Classes

After obtaining job level 40 in a first job class, a player may job change to a second job class that his or her job class is eligible for. The three exceptions to this are the Supernovice, Gunslinger and Ninja job classes, which are not eligible for any second job classes. The maximum job level for second job classes, like most first job classes, is 50.

 [Knt] Knight

The Knight Job Class represents the next level of progression for the 

Swordsman. Although the majority of the Knight's skills are geared in the 

improvement of Spear-class weapons there are also several skills, which add 

to the combat effectiveness of Knights who chose to specialize in the other 

classes of weapons

The Shock Troopers of Rune Midgard, a Knight specializes in dealing lots of 

damage and taking lots of damage. Armed with deadly spears they can take down 

monsters with quick, powerful strikes and at the same time take a lot of 

punishment from the monster due to their high defense and hit points. The 

Knight is one of the two classes in the game that can ride a Peco Peco.

How to become a Knight

`The Prontera Chivalry', located in the Capital City of Prontera.

impossible as long as you reach at Job Level 40 or above as a Swordsman. 

If you don't, he will keep saying you are not qualified. Knight is the 

Advanced job of Swordsman, which is Charged with Physical Attack ability 

and Defense. Also it specializes in Various Skills concerning Spear and 

Two-Handed Sword Class, with high Attack Speed. Nobody can deny to call 

it as `the Leader of party' due to its Excellence. Furthermore if it has 

a chance to equip the Sword of property made by Blacksmith Class, Knight 

can be Even Peerless against the Physical-Immune Groups.

[Cru] Crusader

Fulfilled swordsmen, Crusaders are heralds of faith sworn to protect the 

church. 

Trained as warriors, they have exceptional skill in battle, using both sword 

and shield as weapons mainly for defense rather than offense. Through their 

mastery in shields and strong faith, they have adapted the unique ability of 

supporting their comrades by taking the full damage received by each member 

of the party during combat.

Following their destiny, Crusaders have pledged to join his majesty King 

Tristan III and the Holy Church of Rune-Midgard on an adventure, with the 

hope of spreading the faith..

Crusader Leader inside the Central Palace. When applying, you need several 

specific items, so don't forget to bring those. The test goes through the 

Prontera Prison, Prontera Sanctuary then finally the second floor of Prontera 

Castle. Once you are done with the physical and written tests, you will be 

able to change jobs. The test assesses devotion and perseverance.

[Pst] Priest

The Priest, the advance job for Acolytes, represents the ultimate in party 

support abilities. With the majority of the Skills dealing in the enhancement 

of a party's effectiveness in battle, he is needed by other classes both when 

leveling up and when hunting. In addition to the support skills, the Priest 

also has enhanced abilities not only against Undead, but also with Demons.

Blessed with the power of the Divine, the priest is the ultimate support 

character, able to temporarily boost the stats of his or her partymates, 

enhance their effectiveness and even raise them from fainting. In addition 

to these support skills they have other skills that make them potent 

destroyers of demons and undead.

Rubalkabura. Ask the old man there. He will tell you what to do next. The 

monk job change test consists of a memory and physical test. Once the testing 

is finished, you will be able to change jobs.

[Ass] Assassin

The Assassin Job Class is the next logical leap in the progression once you 

reach the limit of the Thief Job class. The Assassin focuses on the swift 

silent kill, striking quickly from the shadows and retreating even before the 

enemy has a chance to react. Many of the Assassin's skills deal with stealth 

and poison dealing abilities, but the most prominent of the Assassin Job 

Class is the ability to wield two weapons, giving the assassin far greater 

potential attacking power than that of the Thief. The Assassin is also able 

to wield Katar-class weapons and has many skills that increase this deadly 

weapon's efficiency.

Feared because of their quick and deadly attacks, Assassins specialize in 

dealing massive amounts of damage to one target very quickly. With either 

Jur or two weapons in their hands they become a lethal whirlwhind of blades.

their intimidation and plagiarism proficiency.

a blink of an eye then attack them from behind to deal great damage.

Challenged to use their cunning on monsters, Rogues decided to join the 

adventurers of King Tristan III.

Others cannot understand and some watch with fright, but in reality, if he/she 

gets mad, nothing in sight can be considered safe.

Pharos Island Lighthouse. You can get to Pharos Island by talking to the 

Kafra girl in Comodo. Apply with the Guildsman inside and take the written

part of the hunter class is also the ability to use a falcon which increases

A little sway of hips and wave of hands is all it takes for Dancers to put all 

of Rune-Midgard under a spell.

Trained performers, Dancers use their moves to captivate their audience during 

shows.

Until one day, wandering bards invited them to perform with them on an 

adventure. Now accompanied by the minstrels’ perfect music, dancers use their 

hip-shaking skills to dazzle and stun their enemies to defeat.

Masters of the Elemental forces, Wizards can deal the most amount of damage to 

the most amount of creatures in the least amount of time. Their spells rain 

down on their opponents, dealing huge amounts of damage to multiple targets.

Geffen Tower.

How to become a Wizard

Once you reach Job Level 40 visit the Geffen Magic Academy and find the Wizard

[Sge] Sage

Realizing that there’s more to magic than blasting monsters with spells and 

running away when there’s no SP, Mages went back to the basics and hit the 

books to become Sages.

With a combination of enchantments, they can manipulate the elements to cast 

and counteract the most damaging spells, making them indispensable support for 

every party.

Waiting for some support themselves, Sages joined King Tristan III’s 

adventurers, hoping they could somehow use their brilliance in charming the 

king on giving them research grants after.

The job change test for Sages is available in Juno, City of Wisdom. Apply with 

the administrator inside the Academy, located north-northeast of the town. Go 

to each examination site administrator, then take the tests. There are several

Taekwondo Master

TaeKwon Master is a class for characters who have chosen TaeKwon Kid as their first profession and wish to continue in the ways of the TaeKwon. One of the most notable benefits that a TaeKwon Master has over a TaeKwon Kid is the ability to wield books to help deal more damage physically. TaeKwon Master is an unusual class in that the majority of their skills are bound to the celestial bodies of the Sun (Solar), Moon (Lunar) and Stars (Stellar), and are very restricted in their use.

Soul Linker

Soul Linkers give up the ways of TaeKwon Do in order to develop and refine their spiritual powers. Calling upon the power of their ancestors, they can use various Spirit Link skills to enhance the abilities of other players as well as use fancy looking offensive and defensive magic.

Soul Linkers, despite their base being a melee class, are magic casters. Compared to Wizards and Sages, their spells are severely limited on what they can be used on, however, thanks to Mild Windthey can use powerful Holy, Ghost, and Shadow magic attacks, something that Wizards & Sages don't have. Depending on their skill build they must sacrifice something in one aspect or the other of the game, limiting them to only two choices out of PvM or PvP & WoE options. Although casters, Linkers, like Sages, can go melee.

They have relatively low HP, but better SP than average. Despite the high SP pool, their spells cost a lot of SP, so INT is often a high priority. On the other hand, many skills do not have extensive cast times (usually at higher levels), resulting in a lower need for DEX compared to other magic-using classes. With some VIT and their defensive magic, coupled with TaeKwon Kid's Tumbling, they can be quite good tankers.

Transcendent Job Classes

After reaching base level 99, job level 50 in a second job class, a player may transcend, where he or she will be reborn as a level 1 Novice. The exceptions are Taekwon Master and Soul Linker, which are not eligible for transcendence. By transcending, he or she will have to level up from the beginning once again, but when he or she changes to his or her second job class, he or she will become the transcendent version of it, opening up the opportunity for stronger skills and larger stat bonuses. The maximum job level for transcendent job classes, unlike non-transcendent job classes, is 70.

 [Lkt] Lord Knight

The Lord Knight is the final evolution of the Swordsman. The Lord Knight is 

now a master of weapons with a special affinity for Two-handed Swords and 

Spears. A Lord Knight has formidable attack strength and can crush an 

opponent's defense with ease.

The Lord Knight's skills are a good balance of offense and defense. Their 

ability to go Berserk unleashes massive damage while in a state of frenzy. 

A number of defensive skills complement the Lord Knight's combat mastery.

 [Pal] Paladin

Do you believe in the gods? Witness the Paladin's might and see the power of 

he divine for yourself! Non-believers are sure to convert and sinners will 

repent! The Paladin is a shining symbol of piety and devotion who uses his 

fighting ability in the service of the gods and his fellow man. His skills 

can punish the wicked or inspire the faithful.

[Hpt] High Priest

The High Priest is the epitome of spiritual calm. A bulwark in the storm of 

chaos, he is more than capable of protecting his comrades when faced with even 

the most ferocious enemy.

[Cmp] Champion

Though the force of his punches are feared far and wide, the Monk realizes 

that he has neglected something very important—his spirit remains unsatisfied. 

Thus his body and spirit are not yet in harmony. Through rigorous training 

and intense dedication, the Monk will finally tap into the strength of his 

entire being and become a Champion!

[Acs] Assassin Cross

The Assassin Cross utilizes stealth and confusion in order to land the perfect 

killing blow. The Assassin Cross has a huge repertoire of lethal arts 

including ultimate mastery of poison-use, better than the original Assassin. 

With these new skills, the Assassin Cross now has a wide choice of brutal 

methods to overcome opponents. All without ever leaving the shadows...

[Stk] Stalker

If you're being pursued by a Stalker, you'd best give up all hope of escape. 

They specialize in spying, sabotage and stalking, stalking, stalking! They are 

completely undetectable unless they want their prey to know they were after 

them—a form of mental torture they relish. The thrill of the chase is 

personified in the elusive Stalker. And if you get the ridiculous idea of 

capturing a Stalker, save yourself the trouble and simply accept defeat.

[Wti] Whitesmith

The Whitesmith is the pinnacle of the Blacksmith's career. The Whitesmith is 

able to create valuable items from any material he can get hold of. Plus, he 

has achieved the zenith of craftsmanship and can now upgrade weapons for 

himself and his allies. The Whitesmith also specializes in manipulating fire 

and using various weapons in battle.

[Cre] Creator

With knowledge comes understanding, and with understanding comes…mastery. The 

Creator's unyielding dedication to research and experimentation have raised 

him to the summit of scientific knowledge! Now his proficiency with potions 

and chemicals is unmatched and he is on the verge of manipulating the very 

laws of nature!

[sni] Sniper

One shot, one kill! There is no better way to describe the Sniper. 

They specialize in precise and powerful ranged attacks. 

The Sniper is the master of the Bow. In a Sniper’s hands, the bow is a deadly 

instrument capable of dealing massive damage and carnage.

 [Clw] Clown

No matter how desperate a situation may seem, the songs of the Clown will 

inspire you to achieve a miraculous victory. Despite the name, the Clown is a 

serious factor in any battle—not just because of his ability to keep spirits 

high but because of his astounding archery skills as well.

 [Gyp] Gypsy

Everybody loves the Gypsy's dancing, especially her enemies. It's the last 

thing they see before they go to their graves with a smile on their lips and 

an arrow through their hearts. The Gypsy is so alluring that hundreds of acts 

of heroism (and foolishness) have been performed in her name.

 [Hwz] High Wizard

The Mage and the Wizard have been able to tap into mystical and elemental magic 

but the real power is now fully realized in the spells mastered by the High 

Wizard. Only a fool would dare challenge the awesome might of a High Wizard's 

power head on!

[Pro] Professor

In quenching his lifelong thirst for learning, the Professor has accumulated a 

greater body of knowledge than ever before! He now has access to new and 

creative uses for his mystical skills to support his allies and frustrate his 

enemies. Although the Professor does not boast the sheer power of his 

counterpart, the High Wizard, his inventive applications of tired methods are

Third Job Classes

In Ragnarok Online, a character's abilities and skills are defined by their class (also known as job). Characters start out as Novices, then once they reach job level 10 they can choose between a variety of first job classes. After attaining Job Level 40 they can then change to a second class job, either 2-1 or 2-2.

Once Base Level 99 and Job Level 50 as a second class, they can choose to transcend and start the process again, being rewarded with a more powerful, transcendent character.

A 2-1 or 2-2 regular or transcendent character can then chose to change to a third class, which breaks the level 99 barrier. The current maximum base and job level for third classes are 150 and 50.

Alternatively, from Novice, players can choose to become the ultimate Novice, the Super Novice, or explore one of the Expanded classes.

Arch Bishop

Arch Bishops are the pinnacle of the Priest classes. They have a wide variety of skills at their disposal allowing them to better support large parties while striking down a greater range of enemies with Holy magic.

Rune Knight

Rune Knights are the final evolution of the Knight classes. They have traded in their Pecos for new dragon mounts and are ready to do some serious damage with an arsenal of new powerful attacks while also having the highest HP pool compared to other classes.

Rune Knights have a slower startup leveling-wise, but through persistence and dedication, they can become one of the most versatile and powerful classes in the game. They were unfortunately cursed with a somewhat poor skill tree layout, forcing players to have to get 22 job points right off the bat to max a basic AOE leveling skill (Ignition Break), or going with a Dragon Breath build early on, which may not be very strong in the first 20-30 levels. Rune Knights aspiring to have a Dragon Breath end-game build but do not want to use a skill/stat reset may resort to being mainly a party tank for 20-30 base levels until their HP and SP pools are higher for better damage, as that is how the Dragon Breath skill formula is calculated. The upside is that Bowling Bash is one of the most powerful non-third class AOEs and can be used until level 110-120 or so, but does require a good weapon and some practice with the gutter lines. Dragon Breath ignores reductions in PVP / WoE and is one of the main killing skills, but is dependent on party buffs such as Magic Strings and Sacrament.

And then of course there is the reason why they are called RUNE Knights: the runes themselves. Players that choose the Rune Knight class are introduced to a new system of buffs and attacks in the form of rune stones. These stones provide the user with immensely powerful buffs that ranges anywhere from a large increase in DEF/MDEF, potting ability, and massive damage increase. Creating runes does consume materials unfortunately, but the sheer power of these runes makes it worth the cost. It is highly recommended that every Rune Knight should get Rune Mastery for end-game use.

Royal Guard

Royal Guards are an elite order of Crusaders and Paladins that originally served under King Schmidtz of Glast Heim. King Schmidtz knew that to defend his kingdom from the terrors and chaos of the world he would need a special defense unit that answered only to him. That is how the Griffon-riding Royal Guards came to be.

At a glance, this class has relatively good HP pool and an excellent SP pool, when compared to their class counterpart. Unlike Rune Knights, which are typically forced into Dragon Breath types of builds, the Royal Guard has the option of playing with builds that involve Banding two or more Royal Guards together; a Royal Guard can play Defense or Offense very effectively, given proper foresight of his/her skill tree. In addition to gaining new and powerful offensive skills, the Royal Guard can easily draw upon its older skills, such as Guard, Spear Quicken, Sacrifice, and Rapid Smiting. This makes for one very powerful, vastly dynamic, and exciting class.

Ranger

A Ranger is the Hunter's 3rd job. Rangers are given a huge wolf-like mount called a Warg that they can also use to attack their enemies. They also have new and powerful traps at their disposal, from cluster bombs, electric shockers, to traps that can change an opponent's elemental property when triggered. While a hunter goes to hunt, a Ranger goes to war.

Guillotine Cross

Shadow Chaser

Rogues and Stalkers can now become Shadow Chasers in Renewal. They use body paint and other means to detect cloaked enemies, become totally invisible, and even debuff opponents. Shadow Chasers can also hide in their enemies shadow to pass off damage being dealt to them. Add to that their ability to copy skills from other 3rd job classes and the Shadow Chaser becomes a versatile and dangerous class to play and face.

Genetics

Mastersmiths already brought cart skills beyond the level of a Merchant with Cart Boost and HSCR, but Geneticists go even further. Improving the Mastersmith's Cart Boost by giving it strength buffs, even more movement speed boost, and adding new skills that allow Geneticists to battle using their cart as a weapon, the 

Mechanic

The Mechanic is the 3rd job class of Blacksmiths/Mastersmiths, they have developed their skills beyond forging by concentrating into the creation of Machines, Powered suits, and even refining their Axe abilities. Mechanics are given the choice of two paths to follow: Madosuit Mechanic or Axe Mechanic.

Madosuit Mechanics utilize a system called a Madogear, enabling them to use long ranged attacks, AoE attacks, AoE party support buffs, and a range of WoE spells that make the mechanic a very formidable foe. The other path is that of the Axe Mechanic, which basically continues the blacksmith class in a more advanced direction. Axe Mechanics usually result to the use of a Two-handed axe, but are given an AoE skill to make up for it as well. They also have the ability to create Fixed Autonomous Weapons (FAW) which are capable of physical gunfire or ranged magic attack.

As is the case with all merchant classes, this class can be very expensive to play and is not recommended as a beginning character.

Sura

Sura is the 3rd job for Monks and Champions. Most Sura damaging techniques are skills that Monks and Champions have been lacking to do well alone; Area of Effect attacks, fatal to those get hit. They also have been given a new Combo System, wherein they can start landing an array ofdeadly blows to their opponents anytime they want. Suras have also learned the fine art of the Gentle Touch, granting them special buffs and healing skills that enhance their already excellent physical attributes. Suras also get a boost in terms of Spirit Spheres; they can now summon a maximum of 15 Spirit Spheres through Rising Dragon, allowing them to continuously spam their skills. Another thing about Suras that make them deadly in battle is that they are able to move right beside their enemies in an instant other than the skill Snap via Lightning Walk, and Knuckle Arrow. Most of all, Suras developed a devastating technique that allows them to deal a HUGE amount of damage; Hell Gate.

Sorcerer

Warlock

Warlocks are the advanced version of the Wizard class. They offer 2 viable roles: The instantcast killer and the crowd control support. Players will find that their roles in parties have drastically changed upon changing into this new class. No longer the primary DPS class most wanted for parties, but rather a fallback support class for controlling mobs and adding extra damage to finish off mobs. Still capable of great damage though, this class offers an interesting array of spells to choose from and offers players several paths in which they can take. The ice tree offers great crowd control with Jack Frost. The Earth tree offers great pvp capabilities with the ability to strip players of their equipment. And the fire tree offers a useful leveling spell as well as the highest dmg attack spell in the warlocks arsenal. Players also have the ability to memorize spells for instant casting at a later time, which can help with those nasty cast times








Minstrel

No matter how desperate a situation may seem, the songs of the Minstrel will inspire you to achieve a miraculous victory. Despite the name, the Minstrel is a serious factor in any battle—not just because of his ability to keep spirits high but because of his astounding archery skills as well.

Taught new songs by the gods themselves, Minstrels are now a powerful class. They are able to enchant the enemy with different music and deal large amounts of damage with Arrow Vulcan skill. Minstrel can also give half their stats to a supported character enabling the supported fighter to increase their damage. This job is known as Clown in other localizations
